Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 sticks butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup caramel bits or caramel candies, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F; position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and fine salt together in a bowl.
  • With an electric mixer, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips and caramel bits.
  • Scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between the cookies (you will have cookie dough left over). Sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Bake the cookies until golden brown, rotating the position of the baking sheets halfway through, 13 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Meanwhile, cool the baking sheets and repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

SALTED-BUTTER OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted-Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Epi associate editor Emily Johnson liked her family cookie recipe, but thought it could be even better. So she started making it with butter instead of margarine, increased the salt, and used chopped chocolate instead of chips. This new version has since become her new favorite cookie recipe-and she thinks her family (and yours) will agree.

Yield Makes 22

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
6 oz. semisweet chocolate (at least 60% cacao), chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition to incorporate before adding the next. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add dry ingredients, beating until just incorporated. Add oats and vanilla and beat just to combine. Fold in chocolate with a spatula.
  • Turn dough out onto a work surface and flatten to a disk. Freeze 15-20 minutes to prevent dough from spreading too much as it bakes, or ideally chill 24-36 hours.
  • Meanwhile, place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Drop 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto prepared sheets. Bake cookies, rotating sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through, until just golden brown around the edges, 12-15 minutes (cookies will firm up as they cool). Let cookies cool on baking sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. Let baking sheet cool completely before lining with fresh parchment and spooning on dough for third batch.
  • Do Ahead: Dough can be made 3 months ahead. Wrap tightly with plastic and freeze. Cookies can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 3 months.

SALTED CARAMEL WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted Caramel White Chocolate Chip Cookies image

I'm addicted to the sweet and salty combination of flavors these days. I based this recipe off of my Junk in the Trunk cookies with a few ingredient changes and a little tweaking here and there. I made, and remade and remade this dough as well as tried various methods of baking. This is very much a Tried and True recipe. They...

Provided by Lynn Socko

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1 1/2 stick butter, unsalted
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
11 oz caramel bits, or caramel chips**
8 oz white chocolate chips
1 c pecans, chopped
coarse sea salt
**parchment paper muffin tin liners or silpats
**cupcake muffin tins

Steps:

  • 1. 12.2019 NOTE: I found some Caramel Chips this year and used them and they do not stick like the bits do, so if you use those instead no need so the paper cups, I just used my silpats and they can right up like any other cookie.
  • 2. NOTE: It is advisable to have several cupcake tins to work with, these must cool about 10-15 min before removing from tin. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Cut out the bottom of the muffin paper liners leaving a slight edge up the side. Place them in your cupcake tin. I highly suggest you use ONLY white parchment paper line liners, Wilton makes them and I have found other brands. For some reason the colored cupcake papers will stick to the cookies. Another alternative that I did not have when I first started making these is to use Silpats, you can eliminate the muffin tins and liners and bake on a cookie sheet with silpat instead.
  • 3. Mix together butter, sugars, baking soda and salt till well combined. Add vanilla and egg and mix for 1 min. on med speed. Add flour a little at a time and mix on low, scraping sides of bowl as you go. If dough seems a little too dry just add a few drops of water to dough and mix.
  • 4. Once well combined I found that if I change from my ladle to my my dough hook it works better. Add both chips and pecans in by sprinkling them all around your mixing bowl. Turn mixer on lowest speed and mix together for about 30 sec. Scrap sides and repeat.
  • 5. Scoop dough out with a Tablespoon scoop and place on liners in cupcake tin or on silpat lined cookie sheet.
  • 6. Bake 375° for 9-10 minutes. (Baking time may vary from oven to oven). Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle a little coarse sea salt on top and VERY GENTLY place your fingers on top of the salt to make sure it adheres to the cookie, otherwise the salt tends to fall off when removing the cookie from the liner. IMPORTANT: Leave cookies in cupcake tin for at least 10 min, cookie should be cool when removing from tin. Leave cookie in liner for another 10-15 min then gently remove liner.

SALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

I know, another chocolate chip cookie recipe. These are really wonderful though. They are not too sweet and the salt complements the chocolate beautifully. It is important that the flours and granulated sugar be mesured by weight. I use Murray River Australian Flake Salt for sprinkling on top of the cookies.

SALTED TAHINI CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies image

When the chef Danielle Oron was growing up in the New Jersey suburbs, she knew that her Israeli family's habits of dousing vanilla ice cream with tahini and spreading halvah on toast would be considered odd. Sesame has long been shunned in American desserts, but its addition to a confection can add a nutty, salty undertone, and sesame desserts are now popping up all over the place. These chocolate chip cookies, developed by Ms. Oron, are a great place to start for the home baker seeking more sesame. Rich, savory and sweet, they are one of the rare variations that are just as good as the original.

Time 45m

Yield 12 to 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 ounces/113 grams unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup/120 milliliters tahini, well stirred
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons/150 grams all-purpose flour, or matzo cake meal (See tip)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups/230 grams chocolate chips or chunks, bittersweet or semisweet
Flaky salt, like fleur de sel or Maldon

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, tahini and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and continue mixing at medium speed for another 5 minutes.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and kosher salt into a large bowl and mix with a fork. Add flour mixture to butter mixture at low speed until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to fold in chocolate chips. Dough will be soft, not stiff. Refrigerate at least 12 hours; this ensures tender cookies.
  • When ready to bake, heat oven to 325 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick baking mat. Use a large ice cream scoop or spoon to form dough into 12 to 18 balls.
  • Place the cookies on the baking sheet at least 3 inches apart to allow them to spread. Bake 13 to 16 minutes until just golden brown around the edges but still pale in the middle to make thick, soft cookies. As cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle sparsely with salt. Let cool at least 20 minutes on a rack.

SALTED PEANUT BUTTER-PRETZEL-CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - CC RECIPE



Salted Peanut Butter-Pretzel-Chocolate Chip Cookies - CC Recipe image

Provided by á-48655

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups (6 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 cup (3 ounces) quick oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups packed (8 3/4 ounces) light brown sugar
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 ounces pretzel sticks, coarsely crushed (2/3 cup)
Flake sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, and salt in bowl. Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed. 2. Reduce speed to low and slowly add flour mixture; continue to mix until just combined. Add chocolate chips and pretzels and mix until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. 3. Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 2 tablespoons chilled dough at a time, roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and space them evenly on prepared sheets, 12 per sheet. Press each ball to 3/4-inch thickness using bottom of greased dry measuring cup. 4. Bake until puffed and cracks just form on top, 11 to 13 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt, then transfer to wire rack. Let cookies cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The better the chocolate chips, the better the cookies will be. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real cocoa butter and have a high cocoa content.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them to develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt to the tops of the cookies before baking. The salt will help to balance the sweetness of the cookies and give them a delicious salty-sweet flavor.

Conclusion:

These salted chocolate chip cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With their crispy exterior, chewy interior, and perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
